Dontrell was a great hearted, love bug. No matter who you were, he showed love where love was shown. He leaves behind his beautiful kids, his family, and many people that loved him.
There’s no way you didn’t have a time full of laughter when it came to him. His animated personality and hilarious since of humor was enough to light up any room. Dontrell’s energy was unmatched. He was very inspirational to those around him.
I, personally had the pleasure of growing up in school with him and the pleasure of experiencing him as a fitness coach in 2020. Many people know him because of his parties and music he use to make. Many know him from school or college. No matter where you knew him, if you knew him you knew him.

We’re going to miss his beautiful soul. We’re going to miss his energy. My condolences go out to his family and all the loved ones.
